NEW YORK, May 2 (UPI) -- While the Syrian government was negotiating a cease-fire, its forces killed at least 95 civilians near the Turkish border, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday.
In a 38-page report, "'They Burned My Heart': War Crimes in Northern Idlib during Peace Plan Negotiations," the group accuses the government of war crimes. In addition to killing civilians, the report says government troops burned hundreds of houses, detained people and tortured them, and carried out summary executions.
